Whats the most valuable/useful/important (to you) video you downloaded from YouTube? in c/[email protected]

I once donated to a MLP abridged animated series called “scootertrix”. Are one point I was afraid it was going to get removed from YouTube so I downloaded every episode.

This GPT-powered robot chemist designs reactions and makes drugs — on its own in c/[email protected]

Actual real life chemist here. This is not new. We’ve had “chemistry predictors” based on graph theory for decades. All that’s new is that this is AI based. So… potentially less accurate than the current tools.

I use fastmail. It’s similar to proton. I would recommend it over Gmail any day.

Firms are exploring sodium batteries as an alternative to lithium in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I’m a PhD candidate in chemistry. I’ve never once seen sodium refer to the salt, sodium chloride. Sodium is the metallic form or the atom.

However, why sodium, tungsten, lead, antimony, tin, silver, gold, mercury, iron, and potassium and not their Latin forms? Natrium, wolfram, plumbum, stibium, stannum, argentum, aurum, hydrargyrum, Ferrum and kalium? I don’t really know. Mostly it’s just fun trivia for me to tell the undergrads.

Recent upgrade to my PLEX home server (lemmy.world)

Yesterday Evening I replaced my HP z240 that was sitting on a shelf with a Rosewill 2U 15" chassis (center image)

TheRosewill machine is an AMD 4, Ryzen 5 5600X @3.7Ghz with 6-core/12-threads. 32 GB (4x 8GB) of DDR4 DIMMS. A B550M AORUS ELITE microATX board. With a 1TB NVMe SSD, NVIDIA Quadro P1000 for PLEX transcoding and lastly a SFP+ 10gig network card. I also replaced the stock MOLEX fans with Noctua redux PWM fans.

The upgrade was primarily to satisfy my OCD and get the "PC on a shelf" replaced with an actual rack mounted computer. The AMD cpu is a bit more powerful than the previous intel i7-7700 and can run the minecraft hosted worlds a bit smoother, and doesn't interfere with PLEX serving or transcoding at all.

Both the PLEX server and synology data storage server are linked with 10 gig through the 10gig Unifi X16 switch.

The entire setup is inside of a 18U wall mounted and enclosed rack mount with four 120mm fans for ventilation on the top and bottom.

Rack explained top to bottom: U1 - Unifi-8p-60W switch for PoE to my two Unifi-IW-AC units.

U2 - Keystone Patch Panel for inter-rack connections and connections throughout house.

U3 - Unifi-X16-10G switch (12 SFP+ ports and 4 8P8C ports, all with 10Gig speeds)

U4 - vented blanking panel with 4x 80mm USB fans for added cooling

U5 - Unifi Dream Machine Pro with 4TB internal HDD for recording

U6-8 - Shelf holding my Modem and MoCA adaptor and assorted power bricks

U9 - Blank panel

U10-11 - new Rosewill 2U chassis

U12 - vented blanking panel

U13-14 - Synology RS1221+

U15 - blank panel

U16-17 - Cyberpower UPS

U18 - PDU
